i got mugged in prison

This is more than a typical week for me, even by my unusual standards of losing devices and delays.

Its 8:15 now- already in the airport for a night flight , in 3 hours, and it is already delayed by 2 hours… I am spending the night here.

 

Just a brief devices history. After returning from the holy land I went for work in the empire land and forgot my phone charger there.

For few days I was under the impression the I forgot it at Allas or in the car which was over stuffed with things for the games (which games you ask? Soon an answer). I turned my apartment upside down, the car as well and no luck. Lucky I used a charger conveniently appearing every day in the cubicle behind mine. So I was covered most of the time, except key times.

 

So I came back to empire land and found my charger. And this was after I left poor Bondi alone in the same place for a month. But eventually both Bondi (the GPS) and the charger were safely in my unsafe hands.

 

But that was in the distant past (june of 09) we are now back in the now.

Yesterday I used my credit card somewhere, and this morning it was nowhere to be found. Knowing my frequent history, I was sure it would turn up. It wasn't in the hotel room. I tore up my bag, got everything out and back in and nothing. I was sure it was gone, and then like a true Master card, it dropped out of somewhere I searched few times. Just fell on the ground. Oh well , no time to dwell on such things! (should I get out my trusty pouch?)

 

Almost all is well except the charger , returning from exile had a prison break. It was broken by something stepping on it. I am suspecting myself , though I am not sure. Contacting CSI Vegas on this matter.

Yesterday after 12 hot hours in jail, I went charger hunting, and walked half the strip with a too heavy of a bag (bad mistake). I managed to find aversion booth, but unlucky, they don't carry this model any more (it is not that old of a model), the version dude told me to look in the general store that sells all phones, but they closed. So I walked back passing the shows at treasure island and the amazing fountains at the Bellagio, and the venetian hotel.

 

I got to the hotel drenched and crashed with no charger.

Whoever said Vegas has a dry heat, never been here today. It was around 40c (108f) and moist. It was actually raining a bit, I am looking for a shower at the airport.

 

Sometime during the day, I left the jail to search for a phone store. There was a Verizon store across the street. I drove (its America after all, you never walk). The Verizon dudete is saying the price, says I could make a deal and buy the car and the ac charger. I decline the deal, only then she tells me that they don't have it! She can order it , but I will be gone by then. She points me to an all phone store. I get there and they don't carry Verizon phones. The phone guy points me to the Verizon store… but I decided to avoid this endless loop.

 

So now I am powerless to provide energy for my powerless phone.

 

I guess Vegas was wasted on me, didn't do anything noticeable.  The Vegas police wants me gone, this is the 2nd time in a row I am here without gambling, it's illegal here.

 

D the local prison focal prison who is a sweet lady who lost 2 husbands and lets everyone know how much random people (like airport security) make. But is truly a nice person. Gave us some unique mugs (haven't seen them ) but somehow I was mugged out of them, so I don't have my jail memento. I should get them at some point, I hope.

 

The answer from the previous time…

 

A chuckling can't take care of itself – like a bird chuckling, they are either blind at birth, or too small , or helpless to find food (human baby's are also like chicklings גוזל)

A chick can take care of itself to some extent. Like a duck chick or a chicken chick. They walk, follow the mother goose around, and eat. אפרוח

 

I have to go power up the lap top (for which I have a cord) and maybe freshen up, it's like a sauna in here.
